Modern living arrangements can seem somewhat limited at times, given the existential climate change problems of the planet --- with modern housing often not lending itself to 'survive and thrive' existential living styles - ?
A semi self-sufficient unit such as here at he 'eco organic micro-holding' (small smallholding) in the UK's midlands can be surprisingly resilient and capable in terms of countering sharp living cost rises, which many are currently facing. An on-going policy of efficient and economic use of scarce resources and aiming to keep costs at reasonable levels, can also help in facing living costs pressures, plus the experience and ability to 'cut one's cloth'.
Successful countering and/or partial countering living cost rises can be surprisingly effective in bolstering the individual's psychological strength and spirits. Seeing a system which some would see 'out of the ark' (but others might perceive as 'timeless') 'come good', as it were, can be quite a satisfying experience ---
